Rap and more notes!

Today Mr. Schick rapped for us and we all took videos of it! IT WAS AMAZING AND HAD EVERYONE LAUGHING. I thought it was cool and it will defiantly stick with all of us.
More notes:

• You can be rich and still be a plebeian, the difference is you don't have the influence or connection. You could become a patrician by maybe marrying into it. 
• You were either one or the other and most of the time you were born into it. 
• Consul was the senate in its original form. the Senate had 300 people in it. Among the 300 were two Consul who were more powerful than the rest. They were in charge of military and ran everything. After Tarquin they did not want to see only one person with all the power. The reason they had two people was so that each of the consul had veto power on the other. They could either both agree but one could say no and it would not happen. 
• It was bad though because they do not want one to get super powerful. Consul serve for one year a piece but then wouldn't be able to run again for another 10 years. 
• Rome might every once and a while have an emergency and then they would name a dictator, one person, who doesn't need to consult that could act on the matter quickly, and the dictator was only there for 6 months. 
• The patricians had a lot of power in the government. The plebeians did not have any legal written protection.
• The 12 Tables: set of laws that were written down and posted publicly of the laws of the land in Rome. It described what rights people had if someone committed a crime against them.
• This gave them some sort of protection against patricians.
•  around 450 B.C. the tables were written.
• The plebeians then got their own branch of government, and could make suggestions.
• They had their own consuls and farmers started to elect tributes.
• It gave them the right to veto laws against the Senate.
